Bill Summary

AN ACT IN THE COUNCIL OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA To make, on an emergency basis, due to congressional review, a technical correction to the Fiscal Year 2025 Budget Support Act of 2024 regarding the transfer of funds to be used for a grant for the National Cherry Blossom Festival.

AI Summary

This bill makes a technical correction to the Fiscal Year 2025 Budget Support Act by increasing the grant amount for the National Cherry Blossom Festival from $1 million to $1.5 million. Specifically, the bill amends Section 2112(b) of the previous budget support act to increase the funding allocation. The bill will apply as of October 1, 2024, and is an emergency act that will remain in effect for up to 90 days after approval by the Mayor of the District of Columbia (or after a Council override of a mayoral veto). This type of emergency amendment allows for quick adjustments to budgetary provisions, in this case providing additional funding for the popular annual cherry blossom celebration that attracts thousands of tourists to Washington, D.C. each spring.
